Asheville Beer Tours

Despite the combo of exercise and beer, this Asheville activity is a hit. The Asheville pubcycle is a 13-person-motorized-pedaling-beer-drinking experience that is in a class of its own. Technically, 10 people can pedal and 3 can sit out on the action and just enjoy the ride. The 1.5-hour pub tour has two brewery stops, and all tours are BYOB.

Most tours run to four breweries including Pisgah Brewing in Black Mountain, Hi Wire Brewing, French Broad Brewing, and Catawba Brewing (or some variation). Learn about the brewing process while tasting some great Asheville beer.
